The LEGO Town 4-Wheeled Front Shovel (6474) is a retired set from the year 2000, featuring 47 pieces. I have been collecting Lego Sets for over 30 years. This item has been in a clean, dry warehouse or storage unit it's entire life.
This was one of my very first LEGO kits as a child. It provided me with many hours of fun, as I would re-build this machine in multiple different ways to create other construction machines. I played with mine in the sandbox, and in the bathtub, as well as the garden. Now, as an adult, I have purchased this kit again to relive the nostalgia. (I saved the instruction sheet my whole life, just so i wouldn't forget)
Its a well-designed kit with lots of expansion capabilities, very good as a beginner kit for someone looking to get started with LEGO. Out of all the LEGO kits, I've tried, 6474 has the most "creativity per dollar"
